This is not a feature film, it is a documentary supporting van Nuys Airport, as such it shows flying in the early days morphing into the present flying scene. The modern day shots are fantastic when seen on a big screen and with theatre sound, filmed in PanavisionHD you can see every rivet and every ripple on the skin of P51's and Pitts.
One of the characters interviewed is Clay Lacey, he marketed the original Lear Jet, but his claim to fame is he co-ordinated the aerial sequences in Top Gun, and there's nothing wrong with them.
I watch "One Six Right" often, just to see the aerial ballet of a red and white Pitts laying smoke.
I bought my copy at an aviation shop in South Africa, but use it on my Sony theatre player in Malaysia. I bought the Dambusters and Dr. Strangelove at HMV in Cambridge and also play them on the Sony. What's this region thing?
